Introduction
Slayer is a members-only skill. In this skill, a slayer master gives you a task that you will have to complete. The task is to kill a certain monster, and they can be in all levels. From the easiest slayer masters, you can be assigned to kill a few goblins, while the hardest can give you tons of dragons to kill. The XP you get, is the same amount as the monster's hitpoint. Also, if you're assigned to kill Giants, you can kill everything with "Giant" in its name: Hill Giant, Moss Giant etc. So, if you're assigned to kill goblins, you will get more XP from killing Hobgoblins, since they have more hitpoints than a normal goblin, but they're harder to kill.Guide links

Smoking Kills Rewards
After you've finished Smoking Kills you can gain points for different Slayer assignments given to you. The slayer Masters will have a "Reward" option when you right click them, you will have to gain points by completing tasks given by Slayer Masters. Each Slayer Master gives a different amount of points, the harder masters give more and the easier masters give less. Below is a chart that shows the amount of points given per task, notice you get more points for more tasks in a row. Also, if you get a task from the Burthorpe, your task count will be reset to 0.| Master | Points for 1 Task | Points for 10th Task | Points for 50th Task |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tureal | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Mazchna | 1 | 5 | 15 |
| Vannaka | 4 | 20 | 60 |
| Chaelder | 10 | 40 | 150 |
| Sumona | 12 | 60 | 180 |
| Duredel | 15 | 75 | 225 |
Below are the 3 tabs that you will see.
On this tab, you can buy multiple items with the points you have received from completing slayer tasks.
- Buy Slayer Experience
You can spend 400 Slayer Points and gain 10,000 slayer exp instantly. - Buy Ring of Slaying
For 75 points you can buy a Ring of Slaying. - Buy Runes for Slayer Dart
For 35 points you can buy 250 Casts of Slayer Dart. Each cast consists of 4 Mind Runes and 1 Death Rune. - Buy Broad Bolts
For 35 points you will receive 250 Broad Bolts. - Buy Broad Arrows
For 35 points you will receive 250 Broad Bolts.
On this tab, you can learn multiple skills.
- Broad Bolt/Arrow
These offer a cheaper way to range your slayer tasks. They cost 50 GP each for 3,000 unfinished. You will need to add feathers for them before you can use. - Ring of Slaying
The Ring of Slaying is made from 1 Gold bar and 1 Enchanted em. It requires 75 Crafting to make. When you right click the ring, it offers 4 teleports (Sumona, Slayer Tower, Slayer Dungeon and Tarn's Lair). The 5th option is available so you can check your task - Slayer Helmet
You can spend 400 points to learn how to make the Slayer Helm.
It is quite useful because it gives a larger defense bonus than any of the items separately. There is a 15% Attack and Strength bonus from the Black mask that only appears during a Slayer assignment. This will give you a boost in the max hit you can do against a monster. You can acquire the knowledge on how to make this item from any of the Slayer masters.
And as per usual, the items that go into the actual helmet continue to work against monsters that require say Earmuffs or a Face mask to kill.
These include:
Banshee
Dust Devil
Aberrant Spectre
Wall Beast
You will need at least level 55 Crafting to make the helmet after gaining points to learn how to make it. Also you will need 10 Defense to wear it.
Slayer helmet Mug Shot:
This tab is very useful when it comes to dealing with tasks that you are wanting to skip or block.
- Cancel Assignment
You can spend 30 Slayer Points and cancel the task you are currently assigned. This is helpful if you get a task you do not wish to complete. This will make it act like you have just completed a task and you will be able to talk to any Slayer Master to receive another task. NOTE: You do have a chance to get the same task you canceled. - Never Assign Monster Again
You can spend 100 Slayer Points and permanently block a task. As you notice in the screenshot, this slayer will never be assigned the four tasks that are listed at the bottom. The number of blocked tasks you are allowed is related to your Quest Points. If you will be allowed 1 blocked task for every 50 Quest Points you have; you are allowed up to 4 blocked tasks. If you wish, you can remove a monster from the blocked list, however, you will not get the 100 points back that you spent to block them originally. You must also receive the task before you can block it. For example, the person above had to have received those 4 tasks and have 100 points currently available to be able to block them.
FAQ
Do I get normal combat experience when training Slayer?Yes, you will get experience like normally, in all fighting styles.
Is there any assignments that I need to complete a quest before I do it?
No. You will only be assigned to kill monsters you have access to.
Do I get slayer XP if two are fighting on the same monster in mulicombat areas?
You will get 50% experience if you deal the most damage, and you will get 50% experience if you do the last hit. If you hit most, and did the last hit, you will get 100%, if you didn't hit last, nor hit most, you won't get any XP at all.
How much experience do I get when killing monsters?
You will get the same amount as hitpoints. For instance, the Goblins have 5 hitpoints. So you will get 5 XP by fighting them. However, if you fight Hobgoblins in level 28, you will get 29 XP, since it has 29 hitpoints.
Do I get XP from killing the Slayer creatures?
Only if you are assigned to kill them by a Slayer Master. If the Slayer monster isn't your current task, you won't get any Slayer XP.
